NEW: Nassau County police officers — a department with a well-documented history of aggressive and discriminatory policing tactics — have received no training, guidance, or guardrails on how to enforce the mask ban. This is reckless, and puts Long Islanders at risk.

While this was not purpose of conversation, we did talk about NY's continued refusal (and Gov. Hochul's continued refusal) to apologize on behalf of the state. This is where I shed my impartial reporter's role, as evidence by a column I once wrote for @USATODAY and @DandC (2/4)
